I ALWAYS BELIEVED IN KANYE

"I WAS JUST LISTENING TO WENDY WILLIAMS AND HEARD SOME QUOTE ABOUT ME SAYING I'M THE NEW KING OF POP. NOT ONLY DID I NOT SAY THAT, I HAVEN'T SAID ANYTHING. IT MAKES ME FEEL BAD THAT OBVIOUSLY I MADE PEOPLE FEEL THAT I WOULD BE CORNY ENOUGH TO SAY SOMETHING SO WHACK AFTER THE PASSING OF AN IDOL, A LEGEND AND MORE THAN THAT A HUMAN BEING WITH FEELINGS AND FAMILY. IT SCARES ME TO THINK WHAT PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE, WITHOUT EVEN A SOURCE. ANY RANDOM PERSON CAN TYPE SOMETHING ON THE INTERNET AND THEN THE WORLD BELIEVES IT. I DON'T TALK TO PRESS OR DO TV OR DO PROMOTIONS OF ANY SORT. I'VE STOPPED CHASING AND BUYING INTO FAME. FAME IS LIKE CIGARETTES WITH NO SURGEON GENERAL WARNING. IT DESTROYS MOST PEOPLE AS IT DID TO THE TRUE AND ONLY KING OF POP. WE EXPLOIT OURSELVES AND EAT OUR OWN EGOS 'TILL THERE IS NOTHING LEFT. I HAVE A FEELING THAT THIS WON'T BE THE LAST FALSE STATEMENT WITH MY NAME ON IT, BUT THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME I DEFEND MYSELF. I'M DONE."

This is Kanye's true statement on how he never said he was the next King of Pop....I know your confident Ye but your not a huge dick head...

I LOVE YOU

Shhhhh don't tell anyone but you will always be my king of pop

A Little Food News

Hopefully someday I will grow the balls to wear this in public

As many people know, I thoroughly enjoy all aspects of cooking; whether it be doing it on my own, watching shows like Top Chef and Iron Chef, or reading about it. My sister informed me of some interesting news, that Rocco Cima(pictured below), a DJ from Q102, will be opening a restaurant on Passyunk Avenue in South Philly. At first I thought it would not look remotely appealing but after checking out the menu and idea, it seems pretty intriguing. Read more about it here: http://philadelphia.grubstreet.com/2009/07/what_to_eat_at_fuel_opening_se.html

Believe it or not, this guy can cook.

The Food Network had a show last year called The Next Iron Chef in which numerous well-known executive chefs competed over weeks to become, yes you guessed, the Next Iron Chef. Last year Michael Symon beat John Besh which I was not very enthused about because John Besh is a boss and Michael Symon is kind of annoying. But this year, Philadelphia's own Jose Garces will be competing on the show, which begins October 4th. He owns a few restaurants in Philly, none of which I have been to but I certainly plan to. He was actually a challenger on Iron Chef America not too long ago and he kicked the habaneros out of Bobby Flay.

Top Chef Las Vegas contestants

Jose Garces is not the only chef from Philadelphia that will be competing on a cooking show this year, 2 others will be on Top Chef Las Vegas. They would be Jennifer Zavala(pitcured above, 5th from left) from El Camino Real and Jennifer Carroll(pictured above, middle, wearing black) from Eric Ripert's 10 Arts. I have not been to either and don't really plan on going because both are pretty damn expensive. Top Chef Las Vegas starts August 26th and I am very excited for it, partially because I get to see Padma and Gail more often.

dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I made it out of CLAE

Clae, one of my favorite newer shoe brands have released some pictures of their new kicks that will be arriving in stores (NOT FOOT LOCKER) in the Fall....I'm glad that the new cool thing to do for sneaker heads is make a clean looking shoe with maybe two colors at the most with a white sole...I'm really feeling this trend and I hope to pick up some of this new collection when Ubiq starts to pick these suckers up.

Just Another Cudi Post

This video makes me want to see him so badly when he comes to Philly.

Embrace the Martian from ibn jasper on Vimeo.

Although the bass in the video is a little messed up, it still looks sick. I hope that I get to witness this greatness live.

The Will Ferrel Dunk

Yes finally one of Will's characters finally gets his own dunk...

Can you guess which character it is by the picture?

Yes it is Ron Burgandy???? I like the concept but the shoe is pretty ugly

What up Art?

I'm a big fan of art, I think it's quite similar to music. Just raw unfiltered expression of the artist. You can take the art or music and have your own interpretation which is always fun.
